CITY Cosmetics recognized the need for a pain-free, long term and affordable alternative to lip plumper injections because as self-proclaimed lipstick and lip gloss fanatics, we've also been searching for a solution. We recognized that women who wanted full beautiful lips had very few alternatives - they either had to suffer through painful injections or endure stinging and burning of lip plumping lipstick products that contained cinnamon, menthol or spices. This is why CITY Lips is such a pioneer in the industry of appearance enhancement, and to further prove our point, we want you to be able to compare CITY Lips against a leading lip plumper competitor – we chose Sovage. So, how does City Lips compare to Sovage?
